EDIT: This site is now 2 years old
Edit: Alex Bl 17 is now 3 years old on Club penguin
Hey guys, Alex BL 17 here. I am Turning 13 very shortly, and everyone knows that can be a little old for Club penguin. Especially the kids at my school agree, and its embarassing when people know about it, but blogging just goes beyond nerdy in this case. So this post informs you all I will be quitting. Maybe not Club penguin, but the blog for sure. Club penguin has just gotten boring, and I don’t find the need for owning a blog, when 100+ other people do to, and most people only view blogs like ClubpenguinCP, and Clubpenguingang. I most certainly don’t want to quit, but I feel its just my time. Knowing this is my final post, I feel the need to go back and tell you all my story.
I started Club penguin during the beta test in 2005, a fact most of you probably didn’t know. I made an account known as Alex, but in 2006, my mother deleted, thinking Club penguin was unsafe for a 7 year old, but there was nothing I could do, the account was now gone forever, and Club penguin left my mind for a couple of years.
I next heard of Club penguin in summer of 2008, from my friend Daniel. He showed me and my brother it, and my brother was quite impressed, but me, not as much. I didn’t make an account, because I thought it was dumb, and lame. Boy was I wrong. My brother though, went and joined, and made an account called Jakethecool. Every once in a while I would watch him play, but I didn’t really care. But it wasn’t until october that my new penguin was created. One day my brother left Club penguin on the screen while he was in the shower, and I decided to take a little peek. I went on, and actual stayed on for a while. It was actually really cool, and fun, and I totally changed my mind about it, I thought it was awesome! The only thing I was confused about was about all the 3′s decorated everywhere. When my brother came out he decided to help me make an account. I was braindead with username ideas, so I typed some of the first things that cane to my mind. Alex, my first name, BL, my middle and last initials, and 17, the number of my favorite baseball player. On October 24th, 2008, Alex Bl 17 was brought to the Club penguin world, which I also figured out was Club penguins birthday.
Where do I start talking about blogging… Well, It was around Christmas of 2008, and It was during my favorite party ever, the Christmas party of 2008. I was walking around, when I saw someone, actually multiple people, saying to look up Nachoz rule On youtube. They were bots, probably placed there by Nachoz Himself. So I wen’t on youtube, and found his Channel, and watched his videos, and they were HILARIOUS! For all the times I have speant On youtube, hes an all time favorite. But while on his channel, I noticed a note on the side saying that he would be having a party on December 21′st, 2008, at 4:00 p.m PST. So I looked at the clock, and realized that was 10 minutes away! So I went on, and had my very first Club penguin party, and it was awesome. As I continued to watch his videos, I noticed a link on his sidebar that brought me to a site, saying Club penguin cheats. Curious, I clicked it, and it was basically a guide showing what was going on in Club penguin. It was actually rather…. lame. His site, at least. So I went on Google, and searched Club penguin cheats, and one of the first sites that came up, was Clone787.com….
I started viewing this site, and it was extreamly helpful, and it was epicly awesome. About a week later, it was December 31′st, new years eve. I thought it would be cool if I made a site. So I made alexbl17.wordpress.com, but only made one post talking about a cheat in penguin style or something. I didn’t know a thing about WordPress or anything, so I deleted it in 2009, and pretty much forgot about it. So I was back to viewing Clones 787′s Club penguin cheats. In february, I was viewing his site and Noticed he was hosting a party! So about a week later when the party was being hosted, I went, and got him to add me as a buddy, and It was so much fun! After that I started logging on every morning, and would find Clone online, and we became awesome friends. At that point in time, I started to find a whole bunch of glitches and cheats, and I would tell clone, and He would post them. So one day in April, Clone came up to me on Club penguin, and asked me to work for him on his site…
I was surprised! Out of all the wordpress pros, Club penguin players, and Bloggers, he chose ME to work on his site! ME! Without hesitation, I said yes. But I later on remembered I had absolutely no experience with wordpress whatsoever, except for that one post I made on the other blog. Well, I said yes, and its a one time offer, so I just went with it, I made a couple practice posts, and eventually got kind of used to it, but I never mastered it completely. For the month or two that I blogged there, it was great. But in June, Clone made a post that he was quitting. This devistated me, and I didn’t know how else to go about this. But one thing was on my mind. I wanted to be like Clone, and thought I could be just like him, so on June 27th, 2009, I created my new blog. Bl17.wordpress.com.
From working on Clone787.com, I had already had many fans, which made my site an instant success. Soon, the word got around about “Al Bl 17′s Club penguin cheats”, which is how I was adressed back then. In about a month, we passed up 3,000 hits, and they kept coming. I was gaining about 50+ Hits a day, which for the time was good. In December, I enetered a contest to win an author spot on one of Paintboy100′s sites, and later got an email saying that out of nearly 500 people, I was one of 4 people to win a spot on his site!
After making my first post, I shared the link to my site, and my hits skyrocketed. I earned in that month I earned the most hits I have ever gotten for a month, 2,500. From then on, I earned some permanent fans, and the hits kept coming.
The entire year of 2010 consisted of almost nothing exciting, except for some fun, blogging, and playing Club penguin. Earlier this year, in January, we passed up 20,000 hits, a milestone for us. That day we threw the biggest party ever and had a great time. And That finally brings us here.
Guys, this has been the time of a lifetime, and I can’t thank you enough. Here are some specific people I wan’t to thank:
Stralis33- You have been a fan and friend of mine since I was working for Clone 787. Words can’t explain how thankful I am to know you.
Nitregwin- I have not talked to you since 2009, but you encouraged me so much throughout the past 2 years, and I can’t thank you enough. I hope you get on twitter sooner or later so we can talk
Dorian1453- We didn’t really start off too well… I used to get banned from your chat for almost no reason whatsoever, but after we worked for clone I got to know you, and you got to know me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have my graphics this good, or know how to inster widgets, or any of that, and for all this, I thank you.
Double Mvp- The way you talked to me in July 2009 was quite stalker like, which was stupid of me to think, but I know your just a kid, and your a fantastic blogger. And I wan’t to thank you most of all for all the great headers and graphics you provided for me when I couldn’t.
Clone 787- The chances of you reading this is 1 in a million, but I just need to say this. You have been an inspiration to me since 2008, and you helped me get into blogging, and if I could talk to you one more time, I would cry. Thanks for all the great times.
Thats all guys. If you ever want to figure out how to contact me otherwise follow me on twitter, @AlexBl17, or email me at LilLytle@yahoo.com
That does it for me. Thanks so much for this guys. It Means the world to me. I hope you all have and grow up to do great things! It breaks my heart to know I may never talk to any of you again. But thats everything… Im Alex Bl 17. Goodbye everyone! :’D
